-------- Original Message -------- Subject: jdk8 makefile changes Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2012 11:38:02 -0700 From: Kelly O'Hair <kelly.ohair at oracle.com> To: build-dev at openjdk.java.net build-dev <build-dev at openjdk.java.net> CC: build-infra-dev at openjdk.java.net

Heads up...

We expect to do a sync up of the jdk8/build forest with the latest in the build-infra forest in the next few days.

As the new build-infra project starts getting more solid and we contemplate when we can switch the default to building with the new build-infra Makefiles (we don't know exactly when yet).

             **** IMPORTANT NOTICE ****

It will be important that anyone making any changes to the jdk8 Makefiles keep the build-dev or build-infra mailing lists informed. For a period of time we need to maintain two separate build mechanisms, and we want to make sure that both build the same thing. The hotspot repository is the one exception where we don't have two sets of makefiles, but we still would like to know when anyone is changing the makefiles or anything to do with the build process. *****************************

We will soon be running both builds and doing comparisons of the resulting j2sdk-image files from both to insure we match. So if we detect differences we will be tracking down how those differences happened (that's a hint that we will be watching :^).

More information on the new build-infra Makefiles can be found at: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/build-infra/

User Guide is at: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/build-infra/guide.html

Some preliminary timings for building the product image (effectively, build/j2sdk-image/): OLD NEW build-infra times (All estimates, similar VMs/Zones) linux_i586 (21m 59s) (08m 13s) linux_x64 (13m 34s) (07m 04s) solaris_i586 (26m 14s) (11m 31s) solaris_sparc (54m 02s) (28m 21s) windows_i586 (55m 49s) (32m 22s) (old used MKS, build-infra only uses CYGWIN) windows_x64 (36m 36s) (23m 50s) " " "
